Oreo Cookies Gone Keto – Taste like the Real Thing

Man, who knew gluten free oreos were so easy to make. This recipe is super simple and tastes EXACTLY like a regular oreo! You can make several different flavours. I made vanilla (original) and mint!

CHANGE IT UP: So I used shortening for the filling because it stabilizes it a bit more. My shortening was made from palm oil which is keto friendly, however there are several shortenings out there that AREN’T keto friendly.. but good news! you can just replace it with the same amount of butter instead!

COOKIE:

3 tbsp (50g) room temperature butter

3 tbsp powdered sugar substitute (I used Swerve)

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup (100g) almond flour

3 tbsp dark cocoa powder

FILLING:

1/4 cup (50g) shortening (or butter!)

3 tbsp (50g) butter – room temperature

3/4 cup (95g) powdered sugar substitute

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp heavy cream

If you want to make other flavours – just replace the vanilla with 1 tsp of your desired extract or flavour.. I also added some green food colouring for the mint. That is optional!

First things first, let’s make the cookies. Place your butter, sugar substitute and vanilla into a mixing bowl. Either use a hand mixer or spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

Pour in your almond flour and your scoops of cocoa powder. Continue to mix until a dough forms. If you’re having trouble getting the ingredients mixed together, start kneading the dough with your hands.

Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Make sure your dough is roughly 1/2 inch thick.

Use a cookie cutter to cut an even number of cookies.

Bake the cookies for 10 minutes at 350°F/175°C. Take them out and let them cool.
